it's probably a good idea to keep the factory wheels and throw on some winter tires....and keep the lopros for the nicer months

stop calling them low pros, you sound like either someone straight out of the fast and furious movie or someone straight out of a crappy rap song.

Ya, in the winter just change them back to ur stock wheels (keep them)..takes 15 mins...I live in Canada and ive driven in the snow with my 19's..which was not to bad, but to be safe juss switch them for winter.

Ya my wheels are 215/45/17 and I can't even drive in the snow with them. I would get stuck everytime I stopped. I couldn't even get through an intersection before the light turned red. It was horrible. I bought my car from the dealer with aftermarket wheels and after I had to drive it in the winter I went back and made the service manager give me a set of oem wheels. Plus you don't want aftermarket wheels getting torn up in the winter like mine either. I had to refinish mine by hand and it took forever.

I have 215/40/18. I haven't taken them off in two years. You will slide in the snow on your aftermarket or stock tires since neither is snow rated. And if you're not getting rims, dont get smaller tires on stock wheels, that just looks f'in stupid.
